Interview Prompt

Thousands of contracts land on a shared drive every month in PDF and scanned image format, and legal must be able to produce any original exactly as received years later. Design the pipeline, from the drive to legal's search, that the legal operations analyst who owns the drive needs to extract key terms like party names, dates, and obligations.

Summary

Buried in PDFs. The data is in there somewhere.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Draw your pipeline on the design canvas: sources, transforms, storage and checks
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
